Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Silas is not of legal age to enter into a contract, therefore any contract he enters into (including the sale of the car to Elizabeth) is voidable. This means Elizabeth's title to the car could be challenged by Silas or his legal guardian. However, if Silas or his guardian does not challenge the sale within a reasonable amount of time, Elizabeth's title would become good. Therefore, the title is not void, but rather voidable.
